Blood donations dip during summer months. All blood types are critically needed to help people recover from cancer, traumatic injuries and surgeries. You can make the save for patients by donating blood at a Pittsburgh Pirates blood drive! When you come to give at one of the blood drives listed below, you'll get a voucher redeemable for two tickets to your choice of Pirates home games on Sunday through Thursday during the 2023 season.* 

Donors who give blood through Sept. 7, 2023, will also receive enough bonus points in their online donor accounts to redeem for a cool summer $10 gift card through Vitalant’s donor recognition program. Donor must first have an account and be opted in to the recognition program prior to donating to receive points. For more information, visit vitalant.org/coolsummerbonus.
